Germany's Gamble to Make Europe Defensible

Germany’s Gamble to Make Europe Defensible

Germany is not merely rearming, nor is it seeking the role of an autonomous great power. It is redefining the function of the Bundeswehr as an enabling instrument for European deterrence within NATO. In this framework, military power is measured not by size alone, but by the capacity to make collective defense operational.

Overlapping Crises Strain EU's Strategic Coherence

Overlapping Crises Strain EU’s Strategic Coherence

Europe is often described as fragmented, but that is only part of the story. The deeper problem is that several crises now converge within the same decision-making structures, forcing trade-offs and exposing the limits of EU’s capacity to translate shared priorities into coordinated action. The union remains united in principle but divided in practice.

Hedging Against U.S. Trade Uncertainty

Hedging Against U.S. Trade Uncertainty

Global trade is no longer anchored by a single guarantor. The system is still standing, but it is no longer self-sustaining in the way its architects once assumed. The question now is not whether the WTO can be restored to some idealized past, but whether trade can be organized around a more volatile United States.

U.S., Spain and the Limits of Allied Acquiescence

U.S., Spain, and the Limits of Allied Acquiescence

The diplomatic rupture between Spain and the United States is not merely a discrete dispute over language but the visible edge of a deeper contest over the legitimacy of the U.S.-led campaign against Iran, the limits of allied acquiescence, and the extent to which economic coercion can substitute for consensus-building in alliance management.

Iran After Khamenei: The Limits of Power

Iran After Khamenei: The Limits of Power

The US, in coordination with Israel, has launched a major military operation against Iran, striking multiple targets across the country. President Trump on Saturday evening announced that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had been killed in the course of the operation — a claim formally confirmed by Iranian authorities on Sunday morning.

Reform UK's Anti-Establishment Paradox

Reform UK’s Anti-Establishment Paradox

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK emerged as an insurgent challenge to Britain’s two-party order by mobilizing discontent with what it calls a broken political system. Yet its recent absorption of defectors from the Conservative Party exposes a central contradiction: a party defined by opposition to the establishment is increasingly staffed by figures drawn from it.

The Implications of Trump's Greenland Saga

The Implications of Trump’s Greenland Saga

For much of the post-Cold-War era, Greenland existed at the margins of strategic thought. Immense in scale yet negligible in population, the island appeared to confirm the 1990s prevailing assumption: geography had been eclipsed by markets, institutions, and technology as the primary drivers of power. Ice-covered landmasses seemed more symbolic than consequential.

Trump's NSS and Europe's Political Reframing

Trump’s NSS and Europe’s Political Reframing

For the first time since the Cold War, the US explicitly seeks to influence Europe’s internal political order. The Trump administration’s 2025 NSS does not merely criticize European policies or institutions but openly endorses nationalist parties as preferred partners. It thus reframes Europe’s conflicts as matters of strategic alignment.

Germany and China: What Comes Next?

Germany and China: What Comes Next?

For two decades, Berlin treated China less as a geopolitical problem than as an economic solution. German carmakers sold more vehicles in China than in Germany. Machinery firms supplied the tools for the world’s most spectacular manufacturing boom. Politicians wrapped this symbiosis in a comforting doctrine: Wandel durch Handel or “change through trade”.

The Ukraine Peace Negotiations and Europe's Future

The Ukraine Peace Negotiations and Europe’s Future

The war that began with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 is approaching a diplomatic crossroads. For months, Washington and Moscow have pursued talks that, in their earliest form, produced a perilous 28-point draft settlement. It triggered a political storm in Kyiv, across Europe, and even within the US national-security establishment.
